Hahaha...I was just looking at this figure in my cell biology textbook and thoughts just came to me. It's Experimental Figure 20-9 for those that have this textbook. For those who don't, it's a graph showing the relationship between microtubule length and time. It's pretty much just a graph that goes up and down sharply with pointy ends. At the peak, it has an arrow pointing to it saying catastrophe and at the lowest point it says rescue.
Looking at the line moving all the way up towards catastrophe, it reminds me of someone building up anger or someone being so depressed all the way up to that point. Then they just fall all the way down to the lowest point where they will be rescued.
It reminds me of life. The highest point could also mean an achievement or when we feel extremely proud or something of that sort. But at that point, we become most vulnerable as well, hence catastrophe. And if we get affected, we fall. We fall down hard. At our lowest point we get rescued only to continue the cycle.
Hmm, not sure where I am going with this. It just came to my mind when I saw it in my textbook, even though I saw this in class as well. hahaha
In Christ,
Jeff

*wonders what a microtubule is...* =D
hehe that's really cool though, about the highest point being an achievement etc, and then feeling vulnerable..
it makes me think too about humans, when we try to do things ourselves, and we build up our achievements, ourselves, possessions etc, to a great point, but then it all comes crashing down [sometimes how ppl need to hit rock bottom before they can turn around and only be left w/ God] - and then God is there, to rescue us from where we ended up
neat ^_^
hehe it's good that you're able to apply and learn stuff from your classes! science always seems to have awesome things like that! ;) God bless and take care!
hahahahahaha .. microtubules CAN teach you about life after all! :D
So funny :D
Maybe God reaches out to you like a microtubule reaches for a kinetochore :D
